HB 1382 creates a new licensing requirement for commercial facilities that raise and harvest cervidae (like deer, elk, and exotic species) for profit. It mandates that applicants prove animals were not sourced from Oklahoma's wild populations and requires an annual $300 license fee from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture. The bill grants inspectors authority to conduct unannounced checks for violations and updates existing commercial hunting license rules, including fee structures and expiration dates. This directly affects businesses operating as "commercial harvesting facilities" under the new definition.
